From a web source(newsclick): "What are the real losses of the distcoms? The former chairman of DERC, Brijender Singh had stated in 2010 that considering lower transmission and distribution losses, the Delhi power tariffs should actually come down and not be raised. His calculations were that the distcoms are overcharging the consumers Rs. 300 crore per month. His tariff order of 2010-2011 was held by other members in DERC and after his retirement a more pliant DERC Chairman was appointed. The complicity of the Sheila Dixit government in scuttling Brijender Singh's tariff order to help the Delhi distcoms is well-known. There are three areas that distcoms have dressed up their books and claimed higher tariffs. One is that they are incurring capital expenditures every year – for example, new electronic meters, transformers, cables etc. They tend to give contracts to their sister companies who overcharge the distcoms and siphon off money into these sister companies. The higher capital cost generates a higher return – all capital costs are built into the tariff by a 16% rate of return on such capital investments. The second is that that Delhi distcoms have reached a large number of Power Purchase Agreements (PPA's) with a number of power generating companies, far beyond what they require. They claim that this is to shield them against high peaks that the Delhi system experiences.The surplus power is sold at well-below the purchase price to their own sister compan

"...their own sister companies, again transferring money out of the company. This is worse during summer, when the spot price of electricity is high. The distcoms do a much higher amount of load shedding than they report (in 2009, DERC noted that under-reporting was to the tune of almost 50%) and sell this power at a much higher price in the spot market, again through their trading arms. The third is installing meters that run faster due to various reasons and overcharging of the consumers."

SLOGANEERING, CRYING and or CRIBBING is NOT the answer to all the PROBLEMS mentioned by you! - CAPABILITY to SOLVE the problems is what is really NEEDED and this is EXACTLY what is MISSING in the AAP! - DID they NOT know all this? - rather they had highlighted all this to WIN - NOW it is their DUTY to SOLVE the PROBLEM instead of CRYING! - WERE they Expecting - That everything will become Hunky-dory just on seeing their face?.... They have to SHOW their CAPABILITY.. if they have ANY!

but thats what they are trying to do - aint they??! Only media, corporate and the politicians can cry foul?? He is at least is not giving up despite so much of negative publicity and is putting up a fight.
Why Supreme Court has to intervene. After AAP has come to power this Black out Black mailing technique is not correct. When Madam Sheila Dikshit was in power, were they paying NTPC regularly. These Power Companies do not want CAG Audit. What is the problem, If I am correct, I can be audited by anybody in this universe.
